["Michael Osipov (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Michael Osipov commented on MNG-6862:
-------------------------------------

This is a subtile input issue. Consider someone names a profile {{-ProcessMngr}}. Will you consider this as an error? I would print a warning at most.

> On command line you can activate profiles via {{-PprofileName}} and activating several profiles via {{-Pprofile1,profile2}}. Given the following command line:
> {{mvn -Prun-p1,-Prun-p2 ...}}
> The result is that the first profile {{run-p1}} is being activate but the second {{run-p2}} (intended profile) is *not* because those two profiles have been accidentally joined via {{,}} without giving spaces between.
>  
> The issue here is of course the {{,}} between them (without spaces) which is obviously wrong but the preceding hyphen for the second profile {{-Prun-p2}} violates the naming rules for profiles (If I correctly remember).
> From my point of view it would be good to identify such case and fail with an error...
> In the end is it a question of naming a profile? Which means is it allowed having a profile which starts with a hyphen?
